Rejoining after your membership has lapsed

If you rejoin within 12 months of your membership lapsing, you don't pay the joining fee again and you keep your grade.

After 12 months

You apply again as a new member and pay the £40 joining fee. Members and Fellows keep their grade if they can show their CPD for the missed years.

Good to know

• If you join after 1 July, your first year's fee covers you until 30 September of the following year.
• We send all membership emails from membership@sfti.example. Add it to your contacts so they don't go to spam.
• The membership year runs from 1 October to 30 September, whenever you join.
